what have you done for me lately?

[mapadu]

how come we only get TR's from Red and your backyard?

Well, Red is in my backyard, and here's a better answer than the one I gave before:

Because, this

is my backyard. If yours looked like that, how often would you leave? When it melts out (April/May) and I can no longer ski to the front door - that's my answer. So, hamdog, pucker up, butter-cup. You can smooch my big 'ol butt! :twisted: :wink:

Some vids from the last few days (Which I'd refrained from posting earlier... When heckling is the only response, why should I?) ...but here are a few as a last chance to see if it's worth the effort:

one

two

three

four

So that's a very condensed version of what we've been doing lately. Worth it?

how come i can see the vids? what player do i need?

If yours looked like that, how often would you leave?

for the same reason we ride at different ski area's. one place gets old
after awhile.......even Red. that's just me though. maybe you can't get enough......???

Just because I don't post anything doesn't mean I don't appreciate seeing your reports and videos Mapadu.

BTW, I took my dog "swimming" in some local BC on Saturday. Winter does much better than my dog does.

I could have used your pacifier-cam on Sunday - was skiing some THICK stuff that just kept opening up into 20 turn lines that were just about the width of my shoulders.

One more thing: Our favorite skis have been discontinued. The replacement model is called the Mantra and is 1mm narrower in the waist and significantly bigger at the tips and tails: 130-94-12x. Sizes are 170, 177, 184. Supposedly 15-20% softer flex too. I'm not a happy camper right now...

Wow, bummer. My CMHs are just about dead, too. Thankfully I have an unmounted pair of the maroon jobbies in waiting for when edges become necesary, but still..


hd - WMP streams it for me, but try a right click and save if that ain't working. Quicktime works too. Oh, and you realize that the ridgeline extends quite far beyond the picture in both directions, right? :roll: Or maybe you're just that annoying guy in the back who won't stop the witless banter at the movie theater... nawwwww, not you. :lol:

I second that statement, I am sure were aren't the only ones. Whenever I see something posted by mapadu, I make sure to read and LOOK at it!!!
